Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Russian coach Katarina Gerboldt answered the question of who she considers the most successful in the history of Russian figure skating.
“It’s not Zagitova or Medvedeva, but Irina Slutskaya. Yes, she didn’t win gold at the Olympics, but she’s the best.
Not everyone can perform at a high level for long. It’s very difficult. Our only champion who could survive years of humiliation is Liza Tuktamysheva. She is considered an old woman, but she is only 25 years old. The girl is in the prime of life! Gerboldt is quoted by Sport-Express.
Slutskaya is the first seven-time European champion, double world champion, double Olympic medalist.
It should be noted that neither Zagitova nor Medvedev have announced their retirement yet.
